TTPS warns students over dangerous online road challenge

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is warn­ing stu­dents that they will face the full ex­tent of the law if they par­tic­i­pate in a dan­ger­ous on­line chal­lenge that in­volves sit­ting in the path of on­com­ing ve­hi­cles be­fore run­ning away at the last mo­ment.

De­scrib­ing the trend as reck­less and life-threat­en­ing, the TTPS said: “Let us be clear: this be­hav­iour is reck­less, it is dan­ger­ous, and it will not be tol­er­at­ed.”

In a state­ment is­sued on Sat­ur­day, the po­lice warned that “a child sit­ting in the path of a mov­ing ve­hi­cle is one mo­ment away from tragedy.”
